The Voralpenweg in Austria is a long-distance hiking trail from Vienna to Salzburg with a connection to the Maximiliansweg in Bavaria, which continues on similar terrain to Lake Constance: it usually leads under 2000 m on the northern flank of the Alps through hilly to slightly rocky landscape.

course

The Voralpenweg leads from Kahlenberg near Vienna or from Hyrtlgasse in Perchtoldsdorf near Vienna over two different paths to Wilhelmsburg and from there on one path to Domplatz in Salzburg. Between the southern route between Vienna and Wilhelmsburg and the common route between Wilhelmsburg and Salzburg there is another route that goes south of Wilhelmsburg past Gresten , 04A, the gate wall variant. A detour to the Schöpfl is also signposted with 04.

mark

In principle, the path is well signposted. If the path runs together with other hiking trails, the Voralpenweg is rarely (e.g. 422, 420) or very rarely (651/652) signposted. There is hardly any signage in cities either, but it usually passes the center and the train station (e.g. Waidhofen an der Ybbs). Sections of the Voralpenweg are marked 204, 404, 604 or 804 (e.g. Wilhelmsburg-Klosterneuburg: 404).

In Molln , the pre-alpine path leads over the Rinnender Stein nature trail, which was secured by the Austrian Alpine Association after several years due to the risk of falling rocks and is now accessible again.

The route of the pre-alpine path is determined by the Austrian Alpine Association, the contact and information center is its long-distance hikers section .

European long-distance hiking trail E4

The Voralpenweg in Austria and the Maximilianweg in Germany are both sections of the European long-distance hiking trail E4 (Pyrenees - Jura - Balaton). An alpine variant of the E4 in Austria, on the other hand, runs along the Northern Alpine Trail .
